    Working away for the last few days and only caught snippets of news of a boating accident in Donegal, resulting in the loss of two lives. Any further details as to what happened? Thoughts go to the families.

    Were rescued from the same spot a few weeks ago and neither were wearing life jackets.

    As harsh as it sounds personal responsibility is a factor here, or rather the lack of it

    Problem with those east Europeans is there to used to fishing on lakes where there's no current or rough weather and the shore or islands can be swam or rowed to if they get into difficulty. Those 2 lads were Lithuanian

    You're correct apologies

    You'd think given the rescue a month before and with life jackets on board they'd both have used them
